Racing News
Somehow April got skipped with races in the UVRS and NHGP but do not despair! There is always a race going on somewhere in NH/VT! Here are two such races that might be of interest if you’re feeling the racing itch in April.
New Hampshire
Red’s Race for a Better Community is a 5-miler hosted by our friends over in Dover April 15th. You can register for that and learn more here: https://reds-race.com
If you’d rather stay in the green mountains our buds over in Montpelier, the Central Vermont Runners, are also having a race on April 15th
Vermont
Paul Mailman Montpelier 10-miler and 5k as the name suggests, is a lowkey 10 mile and 5k race. Sounds like a fun mix of flats, rivers, and rolling hills aka the New England Special. Also great to see that they have a non-binary category for runners! We love to see that! You can register here: https://cvrunners.org/cvr-races/paul-mailman/
ALSO, if you’re running in the Boston Marathon (17 April) let us know so we can cheer you on!!

Membership Update
Post PURGE we now have 251 members! 251 y’all! That is enough people to form 27 baseball teams, 22 football and soccer teams, 50 very tired basketball teams, and 16 Rugby Unions! I feel like I haven’t met the vast majority of you so I highly encourage you to come say hi at our workouts!
